Ship to wreck es la canción de apertura de How big, how blue, how beautiful (2015), el tercer álbum de Florence & The Machine. Un tema elegido como el segundo single oficial de la colección.
Compuesta con Kid Harpoon. Estrenada el 8 de abril de 2015.
Florence comenta sobre el tema: "Pensé en mi lado más auto destructivo y cómo puedes llegar a hacer algo solo para destruirlo; disfrutar/destruir, crear/devastar, etc
Cuando estás metida en esa especie de torbellino, terminas rompiendo aquello que más quieres".
Con un vídeo oficial dirigido por Vincent Haycock con coreografía de Ryan Heffington, estrenado el 12 de abril de 2015, antes de su actuación en el Festival de Coachella.
OficialLetra
[Florence]
Don't touch the sleeping pills, they mess with my head
Dredging of big white sharks, swimming in the bed
And here comes a killer whale, send me to sleep
Thrashing the covers off, has me by its teeth
[Pre-Chorus]
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck?
[Chorus]
To wreck, to wreck
To wreck, did I build this ship to wreck?
[Verse 2]
What's with the long face? Do you want more?
Thousands of red-eyed mice, scratching at the door
Don't let the curtain catch you cause you've been here before
The chair is an island, darling, you can't touch the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck?
[Chorus]
To wreck, to wreck
To wreck, did I build this ship to wreck?
[Bridge]
Good God, the star, the skies
We are lost, into the breach we got tossed
And the world is coming in fast
[Pre-Chorus]
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I said?
I can't help but pull the earth around me to make my bed
And ah, my love remind me, what was it that I did?
Did I drink too much? Am I losing touch? Did I build a ship to wreck?
[Chorus]
To wreck, to wreck
To wreck, did I build this ship to wreck?
[Chorus]
To wreck, to wreck
To wreck, did I build this ship to wreck?
